Microscopic beauty: a macro shot of an illuminated mushroom with spores (Oudemansiella mucida)
Many people are unaware that the mushroom seen in the photo has, in addition to its main fruiting body, many small spores that the mushroom uses as a tool to reproduce itself. These spores are so small that you can barely see them with the naked eye, but through the microscopic lens of a camera they become visible and real.
This image is another example of how microscopy shows us the world in a new light. It shows us details that make us see with different eyes. These microscopic details can inspire us to discover something new about our surroundings.
This image belongs to my project "Small Beings – Big Responsibility"
